Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: So… Who Actually Won? (4/8)

The fire dragon—using up most of Jingyan's remaining chakra—finally appeared!

Two fire dragons intertwined, and cracks spread across the earth wall!

"Now! Obito! Block his right side!"

"Got it!"

Obito, who had just caught his breath, narrowed his eyes and rushed past Jingyan toward the right side of the wall!

Behind the wall, Kakashi frowned.

So that powerful Fire Release was just a feint…

Too bad—the one in charge of the main attack was an idiot.

You're not going to burn that idiot along with me, are you?

He drew the blade behind him again, gave up on forming another earth wall, and prepared to strike Obito directly!

But Obito showed a "I already saw through you" smile.

He threw his kunai at Kakashi, while rapidly forming hand seals.

"Fire Release! Mother-and-Child Egg-Laying Ball!"

He even shouted the name wrong!

Of course, he didn't have any chakra.

Even the hand seals were random!

But Jingyan's judgment should be right…

Kakashi didn't know Obito was out of chakra!

Sure enough, Kakashi's eyes narrowed.

When did this idiot's Fire Release seals get so fast?!

Without thinking further, the "Mother-and-Child" series had already pressured him psychologically. Kakashi immediately chose to retreat!

Unfortunately…

The nearest place was a river.

With a few jumps, Kakashi returned to the river's surface!

But in midair, something felt wrong…

What was that idiot Obito's jutsu name again?

He landed lightly on the water, chakra already prepared under his feet.

But the moment his feet touched the surface—

A calm voice from a certain science student sounded again.

"Nitrogen Release."

"Nitrogen Flow!"

Wind Release seals—

But what sprayed out was misty liquid!

Jingyan used up all his remaining chakra in one burst!

From the moment he realized he had transmigrated into the ninja world, he had prepared himself.

He would become a ninja.

Even though… he had always been physically weak.

But ninjas didn't have to rely only on taijutsu.

The system's appearance strengthened his belief!

A scientist who could manipulate energy—why fight with his body?

The answer was simple.

He, Uchiha Jingyan, would be a mage!

At –196°C, the river froze instantly—along with Kakashi!

Jingyan no longer cared about damage or consequences.

Medical ninjutsu could heal almost anything.

He would rather carry Kakashi to the hospital than hold back and let him escape.

Because holding back meant defeat.

A humiliating two-on-one loss.

Facts proved Jingyan's "battle IQ traded for poor athleticism" was reliable.

Kakashi was mid-movement, unable to borrow strength.

And Jingyan's aim was perfect.

Obito ran over in three quick steps, eyes full of excitement!

Even fourth- and fifth-year students had lost to this move!

So what about you, Hatake Kakashi?!

You finally get your turn too?!

However…

Just when victory seemed decided—

Kakashi finally reacted.

As if making a major decision, he focused and rapidly formed seals!

"Water Release! Water Substitution Jutsu!"

In a puff of smoke, the frozen Kakashi turned into a puddle of water, and the real body disappeared!

Before the two could react, Kakashi's voice rang out again!

"Earth Release! Headhunter Jutsu!"

Two hands burst out of the ground, grabbing both their ankles and dragging them underground!

Victory and defeat reversed in an instant.

Obito's mocking smile hadn't even faded.

Kakashi's serious face relaxed.

And Jingyan—whose jutsu had been forcibly interrupted—

Damn it. All in!

The remaining 80 research points—全部加在查克拉量上!

The chakra that had hit bottom instantly increased by 80!

"Nitrogen Release! Great Nitrogen Flow!"

...

The sun set.

The nearly-off-duty sun spread its last light.

Dusk was beautiful…

"So… who exactly won?"

After a long time, Obito muttered.

Kakashi rolled his eyes.

"Can you think about anything else?"

"Of course not!"

"Enough."

This time, Jingyan spoke.

"There will be plenty of chances to settle that. Right now, we should think about how to get out."

As soon as he finished—

All three fell silent.

By the small river that had just been a battlefield, three heads stuck out of the ground, staring at each other.

They were trapped by Kakashi's Earth Release: Headhunter Jutsu.

Then Jingyan's liquid nitrogen had frozen the whole area…

Now—including Kakashi, who had also run out of chakra—none of the three could get out.

Luckily, their faces hadn't been frostbitten because of timing.

It was just…

A bit chilly.
